Montreal was founded by the French. The city was established in 1642 by French settlers led by Paul Chomedey de Maisonneuve, who sought to create a mission and trading post called Ville-Marie. The Dutch were active in North America around the same period, particularly in places like New Amsterdam (now New York City), but did not found Montreal.
